Personal Notes:
This dish was introduced to our family on a camping trip on one 4th of July by a very nice couple (Lynn and I don't remember the gentleman's name) who invited us to a cookout with them. Since then we have tried various versions of the salad and numerous recipes before finally settling on this version.
We like to eat this cold in the summer when we have access to fresh corn on the cob, YUM!!!!!
